Abstract:
InterPlanetary Network (IPN) data are presented for the gamma-ray
bursts in the second Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) catalog. Of
the 462 bursts in that catalog between 2010 July 12 and 2012 July 11,
428, or 93%, were observed by at least 1 other instrument in the
9-spacecraft IPN. Of the 428, the localizations of 165 could be
improved by triangulation. For these bursts, triangulation gives one
or more annuli whose half-widths vary between about 2'.3° and
16°, depending on the peak flux, fluence, time history, arrival
direction, and the distance between the spacecraft. We compare the IPN
localizations with the GBM 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ error
contours and find good agreement between them. The IPN 3σ error
boxes have areas between about 8 square arcminutes and 380 square
degrees, and are an average of 2500 times smaller than the
corresponding GBM 3σ localizations. We identify four bursts in
the IPN/GBM sample whose origins were given as "uncertain," but may in
fact be cosmic. This leads to an estimate of over 99% completeness for
the GBM catalog.
Description:
The triangulation technique utilized for the present catalog is
identical to that used for the first IPN/GBM catalog; the details may
be found in Hurley+ (2013, J/ApJS/207/39). Also, the missions and
experiments comprising the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) are the same.
The IPN consisted of Konus-Wind, at up to approximately 5light-seconds
from Earth; Mars Odyssey, in orbit around Mars at up to
1250light-seconds from Earth; the International Gamma-Ray Laboratory
(INTEGRAL), in an eccentric Earth orbit at up to 0.5light-seconds from
Earth; Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging
mission (MESSENGER), in an eccentric orbit around Mercury beginning
2011 March 18, up to 690 light-seconds from Earth; and Ramaty High
Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), Swift, Fermi, Suzaku, and
AGILE, all in low-Earth orbit.

Note (1): Universal time is the trigger time of a near-Earth spacecraft .

UNCERT = Four events were listed as UNCERTAIN in the GBM catalog -- GBM:
UNCERT10102526 UNCERT11092348 UNCERT11123162 UNCERT12011729; however,
they are likely to be valid cosmic events.
Note (3): Instruments observing GBM as follows:

improve on this localization.
